Episode 26 - The PWL Black Water Junction Recap
We did things a little different this week, we decided to record this podcast as an Instagram live video with Marcus Knox so we could get live feedback and have a discussion about the latest stop of the PWL which we think turned out pretty rad.

Tom is easily one of the most stoked people we have had the pleasure to talk to, and you can tell ho much he loves wakeskating by the incredible enthusiasm in his voice. We can't wait to to see more of Tom shredding this year and bringing the stoke wherever he goes.
